Remastersys panel help

Hi, ive posted this issue on many sites but recieved no reply and this is REALLY urgent (ive only got 2 days to do this). Here is the problem: When I make the remastersys dist it makes it alright, but when I boot my customdist.iso in VirtualBox it reverts the GNOME panel's settings back to the original, but I set it to only be 1 panel on the bottom and I got GnoMenu but it set it back to the original (Applications, Places, Settings). can anyone please help me and I know it is possible because someone did it wiht their own remastersys dist like in the following video (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=1xC2_nHeXqg).
Please help
